Mermaids for Inclusion
Finswimming as a tool for social inclusion in the Western Balkans.
Coordinated by Finswimming Team Komet (Zagreb, Croatia) with partners from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BRAVO), Kosovo (KSU Otrila) and Greece (Akadimos), the project introduced finswimming to swimming clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, with a focus on girls and women, people with disabilities and young people with fewer opportunities.
- Mermaids Handbook and lesson plans for coaches, translated into the partner languages;
- an open online training platform: mermaids-training.eu;
- finswimming presentations and pool sessions in Kosovo (Pejë, January 2024; Prishtina, April 2024);
- a final multiplier sport event in Sarajevo (17 November 2024): 68 athletes from 10 clubs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Croatia and Australia, more than half of them women, including 6 swimmers with disabilities.
Project 101093720, co-funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are those of the authors only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

Aurora – Sport. School. Life.
Where it all started: Komet's first Erasmus+ project.
Four European sport clubs worked together to train athletes and club members in what a club needs to grow and last: management, training and nutrition, and the principles of good governance in sport.
- introductory workshops in each partner country;
- e-learning as the core of the programme, built bottom-up and learning by doing;
- a traineeship in a sport organisation;
- a web platform with e-learning materials and practical tools for running a club.
Aurora was followed by Aurora Adriatic (2021–2022), and its logo inspired Komet's own.
